Additional Skills

Articulate, and able to deliver a great first read. Very receptive to direction, delivering subtle nuances to emphasis, tone, pitch and speed. Able to identify and deliver key messages quickly.

Experience converting technical or jargonny scripts into a smooth read, also refinement of scripts written by non-english speakers.

My experience as a radio presenter always helps with those projects which require a more relaxed, conversational style and in interviews. It has also given me a tight control on timing!

I was the regular Mid Morning Presenter at Asian Star Radio until August 2011 - yes I had to learn a little Hindi and Urdu, but more importantly how to pronounce lots of song titles and artists names. I have also worked in community radio in London and Luton, and most recently for radiochristmas.co.uk.

More radio projects coming in 2012!
